My 25 year old son with an anoxic brain injury after cardiac arrest is slowly progressing toward recovery. He suffered frontal lobe hypoxia - was in a medically induced coma for 21 days. The doctors painted a possible bleak outcome It is a very slow recovery. He went thru in patient therapy- speech , physical and occupational for one month. Now continues with outpatient therapy. Initially he attended outpatient therapy 3 times a weekThe doctors tell us it typically takes at least one year for recovery. It has been 7 months and he continues to show improvement. He now goes to therapy once a week. He is beginning to drive . Each hypoxic brain injury is unique to each person. We were told in the beginning critical stage to look for a longterm care facility for him. We stayed positive and look for the best care.
